Welcome to The Night Shift’s first recap. Over the weekend, the gang – minus Becky, who had to be in Madison – stopped at Suite, 1103 N. Old World 3rd St.

Eric:

Well, I've finished drying my eyes after being left out of the Ryan Cabrera photo op (see Cailley's bit for the details) long enough to consider my observations after our trip to Suite. »Read Full Blog Post

What was the clientele like? I haven't been to suite in 10+ months but last time I was there (and my memory is a bit hazy) I recall the place looked like an episode of Jersey Shore. Gotti-wannabes and gold digging club rats.

I know this is a nightlife blog, but I'd personally like to see some talk surrounding good happy hour spots. I have found very few places where young professionals hang out between the hours of 5-8 on a Wednesday. Just my 0.02

@TosaScott: After talking it over with Eric, we agree that Suite has a little “Jersey Shore” flair. To give you a better idea of the clientele we saw, the dance floor was largely filled with women (with the exception of an occasional man grinding on someone), and the perimeter of the dance floor was lined with a handful of greasy, slightly sleazy-looking men. While it wasn’t a lot, and there were plenty of respectable people, Eric and I did notice that dress was a little…skimpy for women. (The worst offenders, though, were the female employees, and that doesn’t include the go-go dancers.)

And we’re glad you asked about happy hours, because we’ve been hitting those up as well! So be on the lookout for happy hour reviews soon.

I've got nothing against scantily clad women at a club. I do have a problem when scantily clad women think having general manners or using a minimal amount of etiquette are optional for them. But I have a problem when any person acts like that regardless of how much skin is showing. Unfortunately, there seems to be an inverse relationship between how much clothes these women are wearing the level of unbridled arrogance and entitlement they possess.

I think this blog will be a lot more popular if you go to places that the majority of young professionals (and up) go to. I'm a 2008 UW grad from and only a few of my peers go to these swanky dance clubs where you have countless alpha male types who wear $300 shirts and try to pick up said scantily clad women.

My suggestion would be to pick an area for the night (i.e. Water St, Brady St, North Ave, 3rd Street, Third Ward) and go to 5 or 6 bars in that area for a bit and then give an account of what you saw at each bar (clientele, drink specials, dance floor, music, etc.) I think this would be the most effective way for you to learn about the Milwaukee night life AND it would be most beneficial to the readers.
